what does 'fruity' mean?
I know the literal meaning, which is 'taste or smell like fruit', but what does fruity mean when used for a more abstract meaning, more than just taste or smell?

Depends on the context, but it can mean or suggest being cheeky or suggestive about sexwhen used to describe something someone has said. For example:
A. I'd like to tickle your tummy, darling'
B. Ooh, that's a bit fruity, we're not even dating each other!
